Let's hear it for irc.java.net

Is it just me or do you also feel that java.net will never be a leading
open source community without having its own irc server? Mozilla has
one, Netbeans uses freenode, the list goes on and on. It's just a great
way to do realtime collaboration. For example, in my case if we had a
channel for JavaServer Faces, users could get in touch with developers
right away. Also, if we had one for the JavaServer Faces EG, expert
group members could chat about things in real time and resolve issues
faster.

I filed a bug on this at java.net, which was closed
due to lack of interest. Please vote for this bug!:
